Future Assembly: A note from the founders to our supporters and friends
Hey friends,
TL;DR We got acquired! It's been a blast. We’re starting new things. Looking forward to seeing you in the future!
We know, it's been a while since we ran our last Future Assembly festival at The Melbourne Showgrounds in 2016! We've been on quite the journey!
Most of you might know that after a successful 2016 event, we decided to pivot to a SaaS business. This seemed like a bizarre move, but the opportunity was too great and it was right in our wheelhouse. The new Future Assembly was to become the platform for medium to large scale events around the globe.
Soon after starting up, we became the backbone technology for our very first customer; Techsauce. Think Future Assembly 2016, except BIG. Like, 20k+ attendees big. At this point, it became critical for us to grow aggressively.
We began to raise our first round. It wasn't long before a company named Iconic Live approached us with with an acquisition offer we couldn't resist.
We’re stoked! Being acquired so early in the game has given us new-found time and runway to explore new ventures (and to pay for a few of those late night coffees!).
The team remains close and have moved onto new challenges.
Ben and Brendan have launched Onstage (launched & currently raising capital) for speakers looking to enter the circuit or to grow their speaker portfolio. Like Linkedin but for people that speak on stage.
Andrew has launched Nomi (private beta). An evolving pet for your Apple Watch that you feed with your heartbeats. By keeping it alive, it keeps you alive.
You should get in touch with us if you want to learn more about these new adventures.
